FELCO Model 7 Secateurs (Large, Rotating Handle)

Product Information

Felco Secateurs are known across the globe for being the absolute best choice for everyone from the budding gardener to the green fingered Felco fanatic. The cutting performance is excellent and it always gives a nice clean, straight cut. The blades are made to last and can handle being sharpened dozens of times. Spare parts that are worn outare widely available and theparts are veryeasy to change and replace if needed. This is one of the main advantages they have over other models because many do not have changeable parts.

The Felco model 7 is made for professional gardeners and horticulturalists and has been designed with this in mind. As with all Felco secateurs, the quality is of the best quality, the coated rubber handles help to reduce impact when cutting and the bottom rotating swivel handle helps prevent tendinitis and inflammation by spreading the pruning force across all your fingers. The handles are designed so that pruning takes 30% less effort and this helps to protect your hands when doing intensive pruning, which many gardeners often do.

Rather than confuse you with the full range of Felco secateurs, we have looked at the most popular models to help you choose the right one for you. Every model of Felco Secateurs (besides the F31 Anvil model) features two blades for bypass style cutting. One of the blades is razor sharp and this is called the cutting blade; this blade bypasses the second blade (which is called the anvil blade) to make the cut in the same way a pair of scissors would. This has been proven to be the very best of way of producing a clean cut. If you are a gardener by trade or wanting to invest in the ‘best secateurs’, then these Felco model 2are what you’re looking for. They also come with a lifetime guarantee, that no other company comes close to. Rely on FELCO proprietary heat treating and hardening know-how to provide you with a long lasting ultra-sharp cutting edge Awarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy award for best bypass for comfort the handles of these secateurs have an aluminium frame with a sustainably sourced FSC-certified ash insert. This smooth wood is comfortable to hold and offers a great grip, even without gardening gloves. They're suitable for both right and left handed gardeners and although the secateurs are lightweight, at just 330g, they still feel robust and hard wearing.

Another feature that we think is quite impressive is the rotating handle which revolves on its own axis, your fingers will be able to move naturally, thus minimising blisters and hand fatigue that may be a problem after extended pruning periods, and anyone who works pruning plants a lot will understand what we mean. Felco says their innovative swivel action requires 30% less effort than conventional secateurs and we tend to agree, overall it provides great comfort on continuous pruning work. With the Felco model 6, you get the same great quality, excellent cutting performance and of course, they also come with a lifetime guarantee.

Okatsune secateurs were once described as ‘Life-Changing’ by Bunny Guinness at The Telegraph and we couldn’t agree more. They are available in different versions and are the only secateurs we think truly compare to Felco’s quality and cutting performance. Okatsune models include model 101, model 104, model 108 and model 109, but it is the Okatsune 103 Bypass Secateurs that really caught our attention. Which Felco Secateurs should I buy? Watch our video and learn about the most popular models; the number 2, 6, 7 & 8 Finally, they have a good cutting capacity of 25mm and can cut in tight areas where some other models might struggle, especially anvil models. Our recommendation Their range of secateurs are a true ‘lifelong gardening tool’ and they even come with a lifetime warranty. With over 20 different models to choose from, there is more choice than any other manufacturer, however, with so much choice it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. If you value sustainability as much as we do, you’ll want to keep your FELCO in premium condition and minimise waste in using a tool where key parts - from the blade and spring to the smallest screw - are replaceable

Felco secateurs are, without a doubt, the best available on the market. All models are made from high-quality materials, this includes forged metal alloy used for the handles and hardened steel used for the cutting blades, as well as rubber handles to protect your hands. They all have wire-cutting notch and sap groves to help prevent jamming when in use.Who is it ideal for?Ideal for gardeners and professionals who do intensive pruning but have smaller hands and can find it difficult to use other slightly larger models. The ratchet system makes pruning branches much easier and they make pruning branches possible for gardeners who thought they would no longer be able to prune branches and have previously struggled with regular secateurs. We offer a huge selection of Felco Pruning Shears. Choose the No.2 or as we call it - "the ultimate all rounder" or consider the No.6 which has been perfectly designed for the smaller hand. We have pairs for the left handed user too. The quality just can’t be beaten and no other brand even comes close, you really have to feel the quality to appreciate it.
